Two solids P and Q of equal mass are heated to the same temperature and dropped simultaneously into two identical containers X and Y containing equal volumes of water at room temperature. The temperature of X will rise higher than that of Y only if the
A. volume of P is greater than that of Q
B. specific heat capacity of P is higher than that of Q
C. density of P is greater than that of Q
D. density of P is lower than that of Q
E. specific heat capacity of P is lower than that of Q.
Correct Answer:
Option B – density of P is greater than that of Q
